A: MSMA wants a FULL representation of MSMA members in its HOD. It is your right and responsibility as an MSMA member to have your voice heard. Only delegates may debate resolutions and vote in the HOD. Q: I used to be a delegate through my local society. How has that changed? A: Local medical societies can still register delegates. However, MSMA member physicians are no longer required to be a member of a local medical society to be a delegate. This allows more than 700 MSMA-direct members to serve as delegates and have their voice heard in the HOD. Q: How do I sign up to be a delegate? A: Contact Carol Meyer at 573-636-5151 or email cmeyer@msma.org for more information. Q: What is my district? A: See the district map below to view your district/city of practice/local society (if applicable). Q: How many delegates does my district or section get? A: See below for districts and their delegate apportionment. District 1 - 6 delegates District 2 - 7 delegates District 3 - 73 delegates District 4 - 12 delegates District 5 - 22 delegates District 6 - 6 delegates District 7 - 54 delegates District 8 - 20 delegates District 9 - 3 delegates District 10 - 12 delegates Membership Sections Medical Student Section - 12 Resident and Fellow Section – 6 Organized Medical Staff Section – 2 International Medical Graduate Section – 2 Young Physician Section – 2 Women Physicians Section - 2 Total House of Delegates: 241 delegates (quorum = 48)
